This exhibition piece was part of the World Design Capital 2014 “Cities” expo and was made for Accra / Ghanda to present a traditional meets modern with the thatched wave ribs being the natural and the scaffolding being the industrial. This piece is now likely to travel around the world to USA and then Europe to showcase the Africa Diaspora.

The wave ribs were pre-constructed with a steel form and then thatched with the Cape thatch reed, species thamnochortus erectus or thamnochortus insignis “dekriet”.
